pii-hups, ti. nt the long and consistent opposition Of Gerrit
to the use of violence should be fully brought to
light.

held nt Milwaukee, in June, 1857, Mr. Smith addressed

In the year 1655 there was a lar

outrages committed upon them by the Slave Power, and

their property by the invasions of the Border Ruffians,
ing and defending ihein-
selvcs. Lewis Tnppan nnd Rev. S. J. May opposed the
purchase of deadly weapons,
the outraged settlers in Kansas. Gerrit Smith folly
agreed with Messrs. Tappan and May in opposing lhe
purchase of arms. Some
others expressed similar views ; and,as the audience were
iivided upon the question, Messrs. Tappan, May, Smith
.nd the others who opposed the purchase of arms with
heir contributions expressly stated to Mr. Brown that
they gave only to relieve the wants of those who had
been wronged and plundered in Kansas. I mention this
because, as you know, much pains has been taken to im-
while, in tact, he has ever —and I think wrongly—
opposed insurrection, violence and bloodshed. Tbis op-
have often heard bim express in public and

ith presided. I recollect that on that occasion
present advocated the liberation of the slaves
by violent means. Gerrit Smith rose in much excitement
and made a very strong speech against the U3e of violence;
declared that the glory of lhe act of the rescue of
Jerry wss that it was done without taking human life,
, to my surprise, expressed great sympathy nnd pity
the slaveholder. Said he, " I pity the poor slaveholder I I pity him more than 1 do tbe slave! " "More
you do the slave ? " asked tho advocates of violence.
Yes,"
■c; for
it of the Churches and clergy of this country—a
o which is ruining the slaveholder, soul and body,
e and eternity I God will take care of tbe slave;
but the poor slaveholder will never know till he stands
before bis God the evil he bas done I "
Though Mr. Smith has thus ever opposed insurrection,
: is not a thorough non-resistant; he believes govern-
fXT is divinely instituted; and while he denies the right
of the injured individual to take human life, he believes
ment, for good cause, may do so, and that the
it subject should be protected in bis rights at wliat-
somewbat elaborated in bis address before lhe American
Peace Society at Boston, in May, 1858.
ling this view, he did not, after the Free State
Kansas had really created a government, oppose
their right of forcible self-defence, and his conduct on all
casious has been consistent with the above views.
In his speech in Congress upon the Nebraska bill, be
speaks an follows:
Mr, Smith has thus ever pn
tbe government would take in hand the
slavery ; and, as the years rolled by, and the Church and
ire intensely wicked in their advocacy of
the political parti

becoming extinct—the moral efforts made for the destruc-
Uy reopened—and the darkness of midnight
gbnttidg down opon the slave—in view of all thi
required no power of prophecy to foresee that slavery
ust end in insurrection and bloodshed. Yet for t
,astrous ending, long foreseen by Mr. Smith, he has e
amed the North much more than the South.
These predictions of insurrection are nothing ne
,r has Gerrit Smith alone made them. Phillips, Garris
Pillsbnry, Higgicson, nnd many others, bave uttered th
■s, at the great anti-slavery gatherings; and 1
st be stolid indeed who can bave failed to-see t

ne of his aids (and an esteemed acquaintance of Mr.
uiith's), appealed to the friends of Hungary for assist-
nce to enable exiled Hungarians to join their country-
ien. Yet Mr. Smith refused to give anything to the
object, because violence and bloodshed were, of course,
nteroplated.

the dyspepsia increased, lhe dropsy disappeared ; but he
has sin.s uttered greatly at times from indigestion. He
had also the heart complaint to sucb a degree that be
has not been able to lie on his left side for more than a
year past.
In 1858, he received the nomination for Governor from
a small Convention of his friends at Syracuse; and,
r Ten
perance and Freedom, and believing the time and labnr
would be well spent whether he were elected or not, he
canvassed the Stale as an independent candidate. In
some forty counties of tbis " Empire State " he addressed
more than fifty large assemblies of the people; he travelled night and day, nnd occasionally returned home so
haggard end won v Icared he would
break down under the labor. His speeches at these
meetings were very exhausting, as he invited free questioning and discussion upon all subjects witbin the range
of civil government; and, by the way, in all these
ings he warned the people, if they did cot arise and abolish slavery, it wonld abolish itself by bloodshed. He
spoke at these meetings on an average two and a half
hours. This was altogether too much for him, and his
mo dyspepsia were much increased in consequence. Still, lhe expenditure of time and labor be never
lumenicd, lor his position aa a candidate gave him an
opportunity to meet large numbers of the people, and to
enforce the great truths of Temperance and Freedom,
and Righteous Civil Government; and the good seed
sown by him in that canvass will yet bear a harvest to be
reaped by those wbo shall come after him.
After the election, he took up again the great topic
of the " Religion or Reason." Early in 1858 he had
made an able address npon thissubject. In January, 1
he delivered the second discourse upon the same; ar
June, of the same year, he' delivered, to a large audi
assembled in Convention here, the third discourse of the
series. This last involved much historical research, and,
as it was marked by a deep philosophical analysis of the
■religions nature of man, it must, in his then state of
health, have cost him severe labor. Besides this, he wrote
extensively upon other topics, controlled his immense
business, and kept up his almost boundless correspondence.
For more than a year pnBt many of Mr. Smith's
friends have remarked in him a preternatural brilliancy
of mind. It blazed constantly, and in its unnatural vigor
it seemed to seek almost in vain sufficient material to feed
its fires. Always coherent, lucid and logical in its opera-
Ih the spring of 1959, John Brown made a short
to Peterboro. ne had been to Canada witb the slaves
so nobly rescued in Missouri, and stopped here on his
ws against bloodshed, and, in a short speech inl
ducing Capt. Brown, he dwelt with pleasure upon
tat these Missonri slaves bad been liberated w
e shedding of blood. Capt. Brown then mi
remarks upon the troubles in Kansas, commented
upon the encroachments of the Slave Power, and,
request, gave an account of his recent expedition with
ittle band into Missonri and of the rescue of the

justified his conduct, and, like Gerrit Smith, rejoiced thi

marked that they had not brought him too soon ;

that the beating of the pulse was scarcely percep-
lanls and the most nourishing diet. I am informed that
Dr. Gray is of the opinion that dyspepsia was the imme-
and tbe typhoid fever of 1857 the mere remote,
ofthe whole difficulty; and, with a singularly keen
perception of the case, he expressed the belief that the

tnity of Mr. Smith, both before and after bis
tbe Asylum, was general in its character, and
,0 ail Bnbjects, embracing even his pecuniary
affairs, etc. All hope of his recovery seemed then to turn
i point whether the physical system could be
to its healthy tone; if bo, the brain would at
me its functions. The highly judicious treat-
:h Mr. Smith received soon began to exhibit tbe
most hopeful results ; sleep was obtained by the use of
lodynes, which were then gradually diminished ; soon
i was able to see his friends; and after spending about
ur weeks in the Asylum proper, he became an inmate or
_ r. Gray's family. He has thus steadily improved ; and
about two weeks since, Dr. G. decided to try the effect of
,me upon him, and accompanied him to Peterboro.
Mr. Smith is still feeble, is easily exhausted, and he will

Mr. Smith has not read a newspaper since October
rst (though he is fully aware of the great events which
ave transpired), and his physicians forbid bim to read,

freely on all the lighter topics of the day, but, by

that, under the excellent medical treatment which he has

walks every pleasant day, and ia round the village, ministering, as usual, to the wants of the sick and poor.

Strange as it may seem, the opinion of Mr. Smith's

blessing rather than an evil; for, io consequence of his

I understand that Dr. Gray smiles when he hears th«
insanity of Mr. Smith attributed to the affair at Harper's

developed more plainly a state of things which had long
existed, and whose latent cause was doubtless the typhoid
fever of 1857. Any other exciling event would have
produced the same result, and this most disl ressing affair

ignorance, the prejudice and
the baser passions of the community. The tendency of
their inculcations, if not their deliberate object, is t
inaugurate at lhe North the Hame " Ileign of Terror
which exists ot the South, and for which they are coi
stantly offering apologies, if not open justification. 1
they admit that the violent suppression of freedom of
speech and the press at the South and the lynchin
expulsion of Northern citizens are wrong, it is only for
tbe purpose of giving point to their censures of the Abolitionists, whom they malignantly hold responsible for
these exhibitions of the spirit of slavery, just as wicked
men of old held Jesus and his Apostles responsible for
the wickedness developed by their preaching.
We have cherished the hope that the day of pro-slavery
mobs at the North had gone by ; but recent indications
lead us to fear a revival ofthe spirit whicb, in 1835,
made it dangerous to properly and life to hold an anti-
slavery meeting. What could be more Satanic than such

These prognostications tend directly to their own ful-
ment, and we arc by no means sure that the Abolition.
a will not ere long have to pass through a period o;
persecution and mobocratic violence more terrible by fai
sat of 1834-5-6. The slaveholders, through thei;
tools in Northern cities and towns, may be mad enougl

till, as the subject of the destruction of slavery by vio-

pii-hups, ti. nt the long and consistent opposition Of Gerrit
to the use of violence should be fully brought to
light.

In the year 1655 there was a lar

outrages committed upon them by the Slave Power, and

their property by the invasions of the Border Ruffians,

selvcs. Lewis Tnppan nnd Rev. S. J. May opposed the

the outraged settlers in Kansas. Gerrit Smith folly
agreed with Messrs. Tappan and May in opposing lhe
purchase of arms. Some
others expressed similar views ; and,as the audience were
iivided upon the question, Messrs. Tappan, May, Smith
.nd the others who opposed the purchase of arms with
heir contributions expressly stated to Mr. Brown that
they gave only to relieve the wants of those who had
been wronged and plundered in Kansas. I mention this
because, as you know, much pains has been taken to im-
while, in tact, he has ever —and I think wrongly—
opposed insurrection, violence and bloodshed. Tbis op-
have often heard bim express in public and

ith presided. I recollect that on that occasion
present advocated the liberation of the slaves
by violent means. Gerrit Smith rose in much excitement
and made a very strong speech against the U3e of violence;
declared that the glory of lhe act of the rescue of
Jerry wss that it was done without taking human life,
, to my surprise, expressed great sympathy nnd pity
the slaveholder. Said he, " I pity the poor slaveholder I I pity him more than 1 do tbe slave! " "More
you do the slave ? " asked tho advocates of violence.
Yes,"

it of the Churches and clergy of this country—a
o which is ruining the slaveholder, soul and body,
e and eternity I God will take care of tbe slave;
but the poor slaveholder will never know till he stands
before bis God the evil he bas done I "
Though Mr. Smith has thus ever opposed insurrection,
: is not a thorough non-resistant; he believes govern-
fXT is divinely instituted; and while he denies the right
of the injured individual to take human life, he believes
ment, for good cause, may do so, and that the
it subject should be protected in bis rights at wliat-
somewbat elaborated in bis address before lhe American
Peace Society at Boston, in May, 1858.
ling this view, he did not, after the Free State
Kansas had really created a government, oppose
their right of forcible self-defence, and his conduct on all
casious has been consistent with the above views.
In his speech in Congress upon the Nebraska bill, be
speaks an follows:
Mr, Smith has thus ever pn
tbe government would take in hand the
slavery ; and, as the years rolled by, and the Church and

becoming extinct—the moral efforts made for the destruc-
Uy reopened—and the darkness of midnight

required no power of prophecy to foresee that slavery
ust end in insurrection and bloodshed. Yet for t
,astrous ending, long foreseen by Mr. Smith, he has e
amed the North much more than the South.
These predictions of insurrection are nothing ne
,r has Gerrit Smith alone made them. Phillips, Garris
Pillsbnry, Higgicson, nnd many others, bave uttered th
■s, at the great anti-slavery gatherings; and 1

ne of his aids (and an esteemed acquaintance of Mr.
uiith's), appealed to the friends of Hungary for assist-
nce to enable exiled Hungarians to join their country-

object, because violence and bloodshed were, of course,
nteroplated.

the dyspepsia increased, lhe dropsy disappeared ; but he
has sin.s uttered greatly at times from indigestion. He
had also the heart complaint to sucb a degree that be
has not been able to lie on his left side for more than a
year past.
In 1858, he received the nomination for Governor from
a small Convention of his friends at Syracuse; and,
r Ten
perance and Freedom, and believing the time and labnr
would be well spent whether he were elected or not, he
canvassed the Stale as an independent candidate. In
some forty counties of tbis " Empire State " he addressed
more than fifty large assemblies of the people; he travelled night and day, nnd occasionally returned home so
haggard end won v Icared he would
break down under the labor. His speeches at these
meetings were very exhausting, as he invited free questioning and discussion upon all subjects witbin the range
of civil government; and, by the way, in all these
ings he warned the people, if they did cot arise and abolish slavery, it wonld abolish itself by bloodshed. He
spoke at these meetings on an average two and a half
hours. This was altogether too much for him, and his
mo dyspepsia were much increased in consequence. Still, lhe expenditure of time and labor be never
lumenicd, lor his position aa a candidate gave him an
opportunity to meet large numbers of the people, and to
enforce the great truths of Temperance and Freedom,
and Righteous Civil Government; and the good seed
sown by him in that canvass will yet bear a harvest to be
reaped by those wbo shall come after him.
After the election, he took up again the great topic
of the " Religion or Reason." Early in 1858 he had
made an able address npon thissubject. In January, 1
he delivered the second discourse upon the same; ar
June, of the same year, he' delivered, to a large audi
assembled in Convention here, the third discourse of the
series. This last involved much historical research, and,
as it was marked by a deep philosophical analysis of the
■religions nature of man, it must, in his then state of
health, have cost him severe labor. Besides this, he wrote
extensively upon other topics, controlled his immense
business, and kept up his almost boundless correspondence.
For more than a year pnBt many of Mr. Smith's
friends have remarked in him a preternatural brilliancy
of mind. It blazed constantly, and in its unnatural vigor
it seemed to seek almost in vain sufficient material to feed
its fires. Always coherent, lucid and logical in its opera-

so nobly rescued in Missouri, and stopped here on his

ducing Capt. Brown, he dwelt with pleasure upon
tat these Missonri slaves bad been liberated w

remarks upon the troubles in Kansas, commented
upon the encroachments of the Slave Power, and,
request, gave an account of his recent expedition with
ittle band into Missonri and of the rescue of the

justified his conduct, and, like Gerrit Smith, rejoiced thi

marked that they had not brought him too soon ;

Dr. Gray is of the opinion that dyspepsia was the imme-
and tbe typhoid fever of 1857 the mere remote,
ofthe whole difficulty; and, with a singularly keen
perception of the case, he expressed the belief that the

,0 ail Bnbjects, embracing even his pecuniary
affairs, etc. All hope of his recovery seemed then to turn
i point whether the physical system could be
to its healthy tone; if bo, the brain would at

:h Mr. Smith received soon began to exhibit tbe
most hopeful results ; sleep was obtained by the use of
lodynes, which were then gradually diminished ; soon
i was able to see his friends; and after spending about
ur weeks in the Asylum proper, he became an inmate or
_ r. Gray's family. He has thus steadily improved ; and
about two weeks since, Dr. G. decided to try the effect of

Mr. Smith is still feeble, is easily exhausted, and he will

Mr. Smith has not read a newspaper since October

the baser passions of the community. The tendency of
their inculcations, if not their deliberate object, is t
inaugurate at lhe North the Hame " Ileign of Terror
which exists ot the South, and for which they are coi
stantly offering apologies, if not open justification. 1
they admit that the violent suppression of freedom of
speech and the press at the South and the lynchin
expulsion of Northern citizens are wrong, it is only for
tbe purpose of giving point to their censures of the Abolitionists, whom they malignantly hold responsible for
these exhibitions of the spirit of slavery, just as wicked
men of old held Jesus and his Apostles responsible for
the wickedness developed by their preaching.
We have cherished the hope that the day of pro-slavery
mobs at the North had gone by ; but recent indications
lead us to fear a revival ofthe spirit whicb, in 1835,
made it dangerous to properly and life to hold an anti-
slavery meeting. What could be more Satanic than such
